Anybody Going? if so look for my red vert in the first lot on the left of the main car entrance, usually toward the back of the lot.
I use to fly some guys up there for this event. I recall maybe 6000 cars were entered then. Sometimes I would land at John Glenn and sometimes Rickenbacker. I have not been back in at least 10 years. It is too hot for me now. I do remember that the drive over to the fairgrounds took us through some iffy areas that I would really avoid at night.
it was a great time, great weather. well over 6,000 cars. Dave Kindig and Kevdog were there as well as the speed is the new black guys. no sketchy areas that I saw, we stay in Polaris, about ten miles from the fairgrounds, very upscale area.
Oh, just go east of the fairgrounds on the other side of I-71, towards Cleveland Ave and the Linden area and then head north towards the Northland area. Plenty of sketch in those places. I would not go unarmed if visiting that area of town.
oh im sure, there are sketchy areas everywhere, Pittsburgh has its fair share, but I didn't come across any riff raff. oh, and I was armed the entire time, lol.
